• Synthesis of conductive polyaniline fibres.
• Modification of the cellulose structure and studies on plasticization of cellulose derivatives.
• Formation and modification of fibrous scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration.
• Modification of thermoplastic polymers, using nanoadditives
• Studies on the use of polypropylene fibres for reinforcing concrete.

Institute of Environmental Protection and Engineering:

• Assessment of precipitation acidification and modelling of interactions between small molecules and macromolecules, using molecular dynamics and molecular mechanisms at atomic and mesoscale levels
• Evaluation of the condition of man-made biotopes using vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens, and environmental valorization of areas based on geobotanical methods
• Studies of the impact of topography, meteorological, hydrological and soil conditions on the spread of environmental pollution, particularly in mountainous areas
• Involvement of filamentous bacteria in the phosphorus recovery cycle
• Evaluation of methods, systems and efficiency of municipal sewage and industrial wastewater treatment
• Studies on air pollution, including evaluation of the methods and devices for air protection in the coke industry, metallurgy, casting engineering

Institute of Civil Engineering:
